Answer: (-2, 0)

Step-by-step explanation

Add up the x coordinates and divide in half

(-3 + (-1) )/2 = -4/2 = -2

The x coordinate of the midpoint is x = -2

Do the same for the y coordinates also.

(1 + (-1) )/2 = 0/2 = 0

The y coordinate of the midpoint is y = 0.

The midpoint is located at (-2,0) which is indicated in the graph your teacher gave you. This midpoint is on segment AB and also on the x axis.
